Where should I take a new woman friend for a date?

Question

My old dating habits from many years ago were mostly catch a show or go out for a coffee. Now I'm in more of a mood for more exciting and stimulating outings. My hobbies are of an outdoor recreation type, such as rock-climbing, kayaking, etc. Would something like that be appropriate?

Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

I would love to try something new like rock climbing or kayaking on a date. Maybe as a warm up for future outings, you can ask her to go to a rock climbing wall with you so that she can try it out (probably less scary than climbing a real rock if she's never done anything like that before). I would work this in with more traditional date-like things like maybe a nice picnic for lunch after paddling or hiking all morning.

Answer 2

Depends on where you are! Not KC, too cold now. Try indoor rock climbing or better yet, she may not be into that. Work out together at a gym (can even get a free trial membership) free date!! Walk in the park, outdoor mall, carnivals, amusement parks, I have tons of ideas but it helps to know where you are and your age/activity level

Answer 3

I disagree with luisa. A competitive date might open up the way for some playful banter and flirting. Besides, doing what you love - I mean it's the perfect way to see someone's true colors. If she's really the girl for you she'll be easy going enough to give your hobbies and interests a try. Why stick to conservative dates if that's not who you are? If you're not a collared shirt guy at the moment then go for hiking boots and a girl who's up for them too!

Answer 4

A competetive activity is not a good idea for a first date. Take her somewhere quiet, romantic yet fun, where you can talk and get to know her. Martini bars are great for this.

Answer 5

Yeah! I'd be thrilled if a guy asked me to go kayaking with him...

Answer 6

Just make her think you have money.
